An electronic cigarette, comprising a shell and a power supply installed in the shell, and the electronic cigarette further comprises a tobacco bin which is provided in the shell and communicates with the outside air, and a suction nozzle which communicates with the tobacco bin; and a piezoelectric ceramic piece which clings to the tobacco bin is provided in the shell, the piezoelectric ceramic piece is a bearing surface of the tobacco bin on which a tobacco material is loaded as well as a heating surface of the tobacco bin, and the piezoelectric ceramic piece is electrically connected with the power supply. The electronic cigarette has a simple atomization mode and directly atomizes the tobacco material by means of the high frequency vibration and heat of the piezoelectric ceramic.

The present disclosure provides methods and devices for delivering pilocarpine to the eye. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides method for delivering a composition comprising pilocarpine to an eye of a subject in need thereof as a micro-dose stream of droplets. In certain embodiments, the method treats or alleviates one or more symptoms of presbyopia, in particular presbyopia in adults 40 years of age or older, in the subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure utilizes relatively high concentrations of pilocarpine in the solution to be administered and as a single active agent.

A mist inhaler device (200) for generating a mist for inhalation by a user. The device includes a mist generator device (201) and a driver device (202). The driver device (202) is configured to drive the mist generator device (201) at an optimum frequency to maximise the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator device (201).

An aerosol generator includes a carrier structure having an opening, a mesh membrane covering the opening and overlaying an upper surface of the carrier structure, and a closing ring arranged on an upper surface of the mesh membrane that faces away from the carrier structure. The mesh membrane includes at least two gluing openings extending through the mesh membrane and distributed evenly around a circumference of the mesh membrane. Cured adhesive columns protrude through the gluing openings and mechanically connect an adhesive layer located below the mesh membrane that is bonded to the upper surface of the carrier structure to an adhesive layer located above the mesh membrane that is bonded to a lower surface of the closing ring. The adhesive columns mechanically connect the mesh membrane to the carrier structure and the closing ring.

A liquid discharge head includes a recording element substrate including a discharge port. A channel member is configured to supply the recording element substrate with a liquid. An electric wiring board is configured to supply the recording element substrate with power. A plate-like protective member is directly or indirectly fixed to the channel member. In a case where a direction in which the recording element substrate is viewed from the channel member is defined as downward, the protective member includes a first bent portion configured to be bent in a transverse direction of the liquid discharge head. The first bent portion is located at a position that is above an upper end of the channel member and below a midpoint of a line segment connecting the upper end of the channel member and an upper end of the protective member.

An optical connector cleaning tool includes a cleaning portion (101), a container (102) configured to store a cleaning liquid (121), and an atomizer (103) configured to atomize the cleaning liquid (121) stored in the container (102) by ultrasonic atomization. The atomizer (103) includes an atomizing separation portion (105) configured to cover a liquid supply port (104) and pass not a liquid but mist. In addition, the cleaning tool includes a control circuit (107) configured to control an operation time of the atomizer (103) by a set time.

An aerosol supply device includes: an accommodating part (cartridge) configured to accommodate a liquid; an atomization unit configured to atomize the liquid to generate an aerosol; a discharge port configured to discharge the generated aerosol to the outside of the aerosol supply device; and a volatilization preventing part (solenoid valve or duckbill valve) capable of opening and closing a passage (first passage or second passage) through which at least one of the liquid or the aerosol flows between the accommodating part and the outside of the aerosol supply device.

This aerosol supply device is provided with: an accommodating section (cartridge) that accommodates a liquid; an atomizing unit that atomizes the liquid to generate an aerosol; and an atomizing amount adjusting unit (gyro sensor and control unit) that adjusts the atomizing amount of the atomizing unit. The aerosol supply device is characterized in that the atomizing amount adjusting unit (gyro sensor and control unit) stabilizes the atomizing amount regardless of the inclination of the aerosol supply device within at least a certain range.

An aerosol supply device includes: an accommodating part (cartridge) configured to accommodate a liquid; an atomization unit having a storing part to store the liquid, the atomization unit being configured to generate an aerosol by atomizing the liquid; and a temperature control part configured to control the temperature of the liquid at a given location between the accommodating part (cartridge) and the storing part.

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for preventing oxidation or contamination during a circuit printing operation. The circuit printing operation can be directed to OLED-type printing. In an exemplary embodiment, the printing process is conducted at a load-locked printer housing having one or more of chambers. Each chamber is partitioned from the other chambers by physical gates or fluidic curtains. A controller coordinates transportation of a substrate through the system and purges the system by timely opening appropriate gates. The controller may also control the printing operation by energizing the print-head at a time when the substrate is positioned substantially thereunder.
